Troley Overtakes One Ahead at Elmont and Passengers On Ptat- fom Are Very Seribnsly Injured —Mankattan Woman Passengo* Faib To Survive Amputations— Motorman Unable To Stop Car
HempHtend, May 21.—An a result of a rear-end collifilon on the New York and Long Inland Traction line, at El¬ mont, on Sunday night, Mrn. Frances Miranda of 816 Seventy-Seventh street. New York City, was no badly injured that she died in Nassau Hospital, lioth legs were amputated.
The following men are In the hospital, all with fractured legs:
Morris Schltnan, 408 Berry street, Urooklyn, S6 years old, a plumber, left leg fractured.
John Wilson, metal worker, 64 years old, of Stewart and Columbia avenues, fractured ankle. »
John Walters, butcher, 36 years old, 200 AInslee street, Brooklyn, internal Injuries und fractured leg.
A score of others were cut by flying glass and 8uffere<l severe strains and bruises. They were attended by Dr. Robert Galiano of the Nassau Hospital, Dr. O. O. Stumpf of Queens and Dr. Thomas F. Davis of Floral Park.
The cans were coming in the direction of Hempstead. Motorman I'eter Po^ of this village was on the car leading. His conductor was Thomas Meyers.
Motorman Forbes had the second car, with Conductor Marshall. At Stop 16, at Elmont, Motorman Post stopped for passengers. Forbes declares his car was 600 feet behind, and that he tried to stop also.
I^e says, according to the story told, that his airbrakes reftiaed to respond, and that he next tried to stop ibe ear by reversing his motors, but they also refused to reverse. Because of these conditions, he says that he was unable to bring his car to a stop, and he rammed the rear platform of the car ahead.
The first car was crowded, and the passengers stood on the rear platform. The second car, heavily loaded also, demolished the platform, and crushed those whose agility did not save them. Many Jumped when they saw a rear- end collision was inevitable.
Forbes, according to a former motor- man, should have been following the car ahead at a distance of approximate¬ ly 1000 feet. He says he was within 500 feet of the flrst car when it stopped. While all the trolley cars hereabouts huve a whistle, there is an emergency signal that a trailing car may give the man ahead If he flnds that he cannot stop in time to avotd a collision, says an ex-employee of the trolley road.
A passing picnic party turned Its motor truck over to the doctors to be used as an emergency ambulance, and In that way quick aid was given to the Injured. The hospital ambulance also assisted in taking In those hurt.

Gives Stirring Address at
Dedication of Gun
At Freeport
Freeport, May 31. — Congressman Frederick C. Hlcks came from Wash¬ ington to take part in Decoration Day services at Freeport. He made an elo¬ quent oddrtfsa at tho dedication it the cannon to the American I^^gion, •"he keynote of which wus "100 I'er Cent Americanism and Then Some."
Congressman iHlcka aaid in piirl: Memorial Day la a day seporate and apart from other days. It has a algnt- flcance ptx-uliar to itself and no one with a heart in his breast, no Ameri¬ can, no believer in the cause of human¬ ity, can atand in the presence Of thoae who have worn tho uniform of their country without tho most jwofound emotion. And, standing here with you who made the flght, wo nre all con¬ scious that above us, and around us, float the spirits of those comrades of yours who aro sIiH>ping in graves for¬ ever honored, In tombs for all time made sacred by heroic sacriflce.
On this day we commemornto not only the groat deeds of the living and the dead of our Civil War, nnd the aelf- aacrlflce and devotion of those who con. tende<l in the Spanish War, but we pay our tribute and exprosis our gratitude to thoao younger service men—those crusaders of tho new ago—thoso de¬ fenders of our rights and protectors of onr National honor. The gallant and Immortal men who rendered their <jill measure of devotion to their country ne<>d no eulogy from my hands. Thoir deeds apeak louder than any words of praise, or any encomium of rhetoric. Their graves aro conaocratod by a na¬ tion's love; their work ia done, but their ejcample lives on to inspire U8 to "carry on" with a new determination that their lives were not ren^fed^Ji^ , vain. "*"
It ia for us now, the living, to conae- irate ourselves to tho causo for which they fought and died; to pledge our¬ selves to the maintenance of the prin¬ ciples of liberty and of justico and of eternal right, which has ever marked the progress of thla nation in Its swoop onward to higher planes of thought and action. It waa for these fundamentals they, and ynu. conscientiously offered your lives. We must never forgot the iliity that this sacriflce has laid u|k>n IIS of fulfllling to the utmost your hopes and your purposes. The Im¬ pressive lesson of that sacrifice la the inspiiing mandate which makes this (lay significant.
AVhon you of the recent war joined tho colors of the Uepublic you gave to the wr)rld nn exampl); of your unflinch¬ ing courage, of your ardor to the i>olnt of audacity and of your full conscious¬ ness of the high cause you had come to serve.
When you worn battling for tho ¦notherlund,—great, majestic, unswerv¬ ing America,—you presente<l to the world the Iwst sho hud to offer. Ira .'OU, and in your nctiona, the nation vhose uniform you wore had neither ¦xcuse to make, or apology to offer. c'ou were Am'*rlcans—that is all—rell- int, fearless, splendid Americans. You imaahed through to every objective; .ou did €fvery Job that was askod of . ou and did It right. You went Into •vflry fight with as brave a heart om iod ever placed In human breasts, and vith a smile on your face you paased 'own Into the shadows. You were the Inesl soldiers in Europe, unconcerned nd unabashed, fearless and generous; ¦roud that you were the repreaenta- ives of a great race, the embodiment >f the ideals of a great nation.
In hushed volcea we speak In ever- 'aatlng gratitude of the hallowed dead md extend a hand of aympathy to tha )ereaved; with deepeat appreciation we heralded the living and acclaim their flory to unborn generatlona; with pro- 'ound aflTection we record the valorous leeds and the aacriflrea of tbe decaased «nd the maimed and pledge ourselv*aa tnd our honor, that throughout the veara, without stint and without cavil .hey shall enjoy iho protecting care and the generous conalderatlon of a grateful country.
Now, with the flalds of liattle onca more smiling in the aunlight of f*«tllUy and ]>e(ice, with cannon and gun ruat- Ing In the trenchea, hut Int'sl/ tbe actna of aavaga conflict, our tbougbia go out to what tbe future h^lda In atote for ua.
With the victory of tbe woKd war haa come a new conception df'liiowar, pbyalcal, flnanciai and eoononlc, na well aa new raaponaibllltlaa and duttaa. It Is hard to comprehend how oowptata- y the world depaada upon Ama (ContiMMd •« r«co 9

Dedication of Gun
At Freeport
Freeport, May 31. — Congressman Frederick C. Hlcks came from Wash¬ ington to take part in Decoration Day services at Freeport. He made an elo¬ quent oddrtfsa at tho dedication it the cannon to the American I^^gion, •"he keynote of which wus "100 I'er Cent Americanism and Then Some."
Congressman iHlcka aaid in piirl: Memorial Day la a day seporate and apart from other days. It has a algnt- flcance ptx-uliar to itself and no one with a heart in his breast, no Ameri¬ can, no believer in the cause of human¬ ity, can atand in the presence Of thoae who have worn tho uniform of their country without tho most jwofound emotion. And, standing here with you who made the flght, wo nre all con¬ scious that above us, and around us, float the spirits of those comrades of yours who aro sIiH>ping in graves for¬ ever honored, In tombs for all time made sacred by heroic sacriflce.
On this day we commemornto not only the groat deeds of the living and the dead of our Civil War, nnd the aelf- aacrlflce and devotion of those who con. tended no eulogy from my hands. Thoir deeds apeak louder than any words of praise, or any encomium of rhetoric. Their graves aro conaocratod by a na¬ tion's love; their work ia done, but their ejcample lives on to inspire U8 to "carry on" with a new determination that their lives were not ren^fed^Ji^ , vain. "*"
It ia for us now, the living, to conae- irate ourselves to tho causo for which they fought and died; to pledge our¬ selves to the maintenance of the prin¬ ciples of liberty and of justico and of eternal right, which has ever marked the progress of thla nation in Its swoop onward to higher planes of thought and action. It waa for these fundamentals they, and ynu. conscientiously offered your lives. We must never forgot the iliity that this sacriflce has laid u|k>n IIS of fulfllling to the utmost your hopes and your purposes. The Im¬ pressive lesson of that sacrifice la the inspiiing mandate which makes this (lay significant.
AVhon you of the recent war joined tho colors of the Uepublic you gave to the wr)rld nn exampl); of your unflinch¬ ing courage, of your ardor to the i>olnt of audacity and of your full conscious¬ ness of the high cause you had come to serve.
When you worn battling for tho ¦notherlund,—great, majestic, unswerv¬ ing America,—you presentef the ideals of a great nation.
In hushed volcea we speak In ever- 'aatlng gratitude of the hallowed dead md extend a hand of aympathy to tha )ereaved; with deepeat appreciation we heralded the living and acclaim their flory to unborn generatlona; with pro- 'ound aflTection we record the valorous leeds and the aacriflrea of tbe decaased «nd the maimed and pledge ourselv*aa tnd our honor, that throughout the veara, without stint and without cavil .hey shall enjoy iho protecting care and the generous conalderatlon of a grateful country.
Now, with the flalds of liattle onca more smiling in the aunlight of f*«tllUy and ]>e(ice, with cannon and gun ruat- Ing In the trenchea, hut Int'sl/ tbe actna of aavaga conflict, our tbougbia go out to what tbe future h^lda In atote for ua.
